Spending time with family.



Well this past weekend we started our Christmas get togethers by having Scott's parents and his brother Tommy come over for dinner and exchanging gifts. Scott woke up very sick Saturday morning so I left him in bed while I got the house and food ready. We had a roast with vegetables, asparagus casserole, sweet potato casserole and an apple pie and everyone seemed to enjoy it. We had a great time spending time together and always look forward to doing this every year. On Sunday we decided to just stay in our pj's and watch TV which was nice as Scott was still sick, Molly got to sleep in and I got to catch up on a little sleep as Scott had kept me up the last couple of nights before with his coughing and sneezing. Over the next few days I hope to get my Christmas shopping done (which I don't have much left) and get ready for going to Mom's for the holiday. We are also getting more and more excited about the bowl game on New Year's Eve and it looks like I will be able to take the whole week of Christmas off...........now that will be so nice. I have also included a couple of pics from Saturday night and tried to come up with one that showed what the tree looks like as Cheryl wanted to know since she helped pick out the new decorations. The pictures don't do it justice as other than the tree is a little smaller then we usually get it turned out very beautifully.

We got our tickets!!!!!


Scott got up really early this morning to try to get us tickets to the Chick-Fil-A bowl on New Year's Eve at the Georgia Dome. He was able to get us three tickets as it will be me, Scott and Dad watching the Auburn Tigers take on Clemson Tigers. I know I am excited as I have never been to a bowl game before and to watch a college game in a dome has to be awesome.

Many things to be thankful for.

It seems like my posts are getting further and further apart and I am sorry but here we go. I will catch up on what has been going on in a minute but let me first start of by saying I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This was my families first Thanksgiving without the center of our family and that is my grandmother. This was our first holiday without her and her presence was definitely missed but her presence was also definitely felt. On this particular holiday we are to pause and reflect on the things that we are grateful for and here is just a short list of the things I am grateful for; I am so grateful for having a grandmother like Nanny and I know that she will always be there with me and each of us. I am also grateful for the family that we have near and far and for Lillian opening up her home for all of us to get together. I was also extremely grateful for those of us that were able to get together and this year included Molly and she said that she had a great time.


Now for what has been going on in the last couple of weeks: As we all know Auburn lost to Georgia (we will get them next year) and we watched it with Dad and Cheryl and had a good time. The Friday after Thanksgiving Cheryl and I did our annual tradition of getting out with all the other nuts early (and I mean early as it was 2:30am) and headed to Waffle House for breakfast. After we ate we went to our first store which was Kohl's and found a couple of things. Our next stop was Target and we stood in line for 1 1/2 hours before the store opened but once it did everyone in line took off running for what they were looking for. I have to say we did really good in Target and then headed to all the other stores we were interested in. I can't way what we bought just yet but in a few weeks I will!! Once we got back to Mom's it wasn't long before we had to head back home as we had a football game on Saturday. Saturday morning we got up early and headed to Auburn hoping that our spot that Scott marked off on Wednesday would still be there..which it was! We got to our tailgating spot at 9:30 in the morning and froze our tails off but had a great time cooking out and hanging out together. If you don't know we beat Alabama for the 6th year in a row and we were there to see it....WAR EAGLE!



Sunday morning we went out to get our Christmas tree and came back to the house to decorate it. The tree is a good bit smaller then we normally get but it is still beautiful.


Well that catches things up for now!

Knock em' Dead Tigers!!!


Well my sister thinks she is cute and has put some nasty stuff on her blog in regards to this weekends matchup between Auburn and Georgia so I thought I would return the favor and give an accurate picture of this rivalry whereas hers is just wishful thinking. Scott and I have decided to postpone the crab boil at our house this weekend because some of our friends couldn't attend and instead we are headed to my parents to be there in person when Auburn kicks Georgia's tails.

Getting ready for AU vs GA.

Well my sister has gotten onto me about not posting more often and I said when I started this thing I was going to try to post once a week but didn't promise...lol. Anyway, over this past week nothing really happened except we had Molly and did our tailgating on Saturday for the Tennessee Tech game (which we won) and then we went out to dinner Saturday night which was really good. Sunday we went shopping to find Molly some new clothes now that it is getting colder. We didn't have much luck but she did get two new shirts and a pair of jeans. This week we are trying to get the house cleaned up and the grass cut since we are having a few friends over on Saturday for the GA game and we are doing a crab boil so between good friends, good food and a good butt kicking when AU kicks GA's tails this should be a great weekend. Another thing that will make this a good weekend is I have Monday off but I am disappointed that Scott does not. No pictures this week as I mentioned in my last post that our digital camera is broken and we have looked around but made no decision yet so I will have to make do with clip art for now.

Fun Filled Weekend!!

Well our weekend started out by picking up Molly and going to the Santa Fe Cattle Company for dinner. Scott ordered us cheese sticks to start off with but Molly and I said they were more like cheese logs when they brought them out as we had never seen cheese sticks that big before. Molly had a steak, I had steak tips and Scott had a burger and it was all very good and we all agreed that we would go back. After dinner we headed to Auburn University for the pumpkin carve as we try to make it every year and it is awesome. The pumpkin carve is an event held every year at Auburn where students carve pumpkins and then they are judged in several categories and I am always amazed to see what the student's come up with....they are very creative as you can see from the pictures.


Speaking of pictures we went to get our camera out of the car to take pics of the pumpkins and found that the LCD screen was broke and since this camera doesn't have a view finder then we were taking pictures hoping that we would get a couple of good ones. We haven't had this camera for very long and loved it but now we are on the hunt for a new one...I will keep you posted on when we find something. Oh well...back to our weekend. Saturday morning we got up very early to head to Auburn to pick out our tailgating spot. Once we found our spot we unloaded everything and got out the TV and played some games and just had a good time. We grilled fajitas for lunch and had sausage balls and my homemade red pepper dip...it was all very good. About 1 1/2 hours before the game we started to take everything down and head toward to the stadium. Before we went into the stadium we went through the bookstore to see if they had anything new which they did but we didn't buy anything and then it was time to head to our seats. The game was very good and we beat Ole Miss and it was also very cold so Molly and I were glad to get back to the van to head home. On Sunday we decided to catch up on some movies and just had a day around the house and it was so nice to do so. Well nothing really planed for the week ahead except for getting ready for the game on Saturday and I will let you know how that goes.

Okay so it has been a while....

Well so much for getting my blog updated once a week...ha ha!! Let's see what has happened since the last update???? We had a yard sale at Mom's and it turned out pretty well but it was well worth it since it gave us an opportunity to clean out a bunch of stuff and get rid of it. Anything that didn't sell we sent to a charity that helps women when they get out of prison. Scott's birthday was also that weekend so we went and looked at TVs since we made a little extra money from the yard sale but didn't find anything we wanted to get that day. We then went out to lunch and took Scott to play miniature golf and had a blast!! Dad and Scott tied for first, I came in second and Molly and Mom tied for third. We got back to Mom's and had cake and Scott opened his presents. The following weekend Mom came to my house and we went to the syrup soppin with Scott's Mom and his brother. We got there really early and had breakfast (the fried pies are to die for) and then did a little shopping and then ended our time at the soppin with a little music. Scott's Mom's birthday was that weekend so we took her out to lunch and she seemed to enjoy it. Oh but let me back up a little.....back to Friday night before the syrup soppin!! Once I got home from work Mom, Scott and I ate dinner and then headed to Columbus to look at TVs again and this time we bit the bullet and bought one!! When the adventure of TV shopping first began several weeks ago we thought about getting a 32" TV for our bedroom but after seeing Mom's we decided to go with at 37" but once we got to the store and looked at the 42" then we said what the heck and bought it!!!!!!!!!! We have already watched several movies and Scott got to watch the AU/LSU game Saturday night and needless to say we don't regret going with the 42". Well that is about it and maybe I can remember to post more often. Until then....

Time to catch up.

Well it has been a few weeks since I last posted and not a lot has been going on so I will give a quick recap. We have had a couple of Auburn games that we have gone to...one turned out not so great as we lost and the other one was better since we won. We have also been able to drag out the tent that I bought last year but couldn't use because we didn't have tickets and do some real tailgating! On the 22nd of September for the New Mexico State game Scott and I got to our spot early and setup the tent, chairs, grill and this time we took a TV which was great. We didn't have Molly and so it was just Scott and I for the first 5 hours or so but then we had a few friends to show up an hour or so before the game started. As to what else has been going on, the ramp at Scott's mom's is finished without further incident and we have been getting quite a bit of yard work done as well...see I told you it wasn't all that exciting! We don't have a lot planned this week except for another home game on Saturday and we still aren't sure who will be going with us but I am sure we will have a great time no matter what. Well that is about it....until next time.

Anniversary Cruise 2007!


Well we are back from our 5 day cruise and we had such a good time. With everything that had been going on for the last couple of months Scott and I were more than ready to get away for a few days. We left the house on Wed (9/5) and drove to Vero Beach, FL where we stayed for the night. We got up the next morning and drove two hours to get to Fort Lauderdale and with the help of our handy dandy new GPS unit we got there without getting lost and it also helped us find a hotel and a place to eat. We arrived at the port about 1 1/2 hours early but we decided to stay and just wait because it took us a while to get into the port. Once we got our bags together we made it through the terminal (we did find that Port Canaveral is easier) we were on the ship exploring our home for the next few days. Once aboard we had lunch and then decided to book our excursion for Cozumel as we didn't want to book one for Key West. We booked the eco-jeep excursion which was to take us by jeep through Mayan temples, an historic light house and snorkeling and an authentic Mexican lunch so we were very excited. Once our excursion was booked we headed to the sail away party and then it wasn't too long until dinner. We got dressed for dinner and once there we met our dining room staff and had an excellent meal (which all of them were) all of the staff was very friendly and took good care of us. After dinner we attended the welcome aboard show and played in the casino and went to a karaoke show and then it was time to go to bed. The next morning we got up early, ate breakfast and headed into Key West. Since we decided not to do an excursion we walked around and did a little shopping and then we ended our time in Key West with what else.....key lime pie which was very good. Once we made it back to the ship we had lunch and then explored the ship some more, ate dinner and attended some more shows. Scott and I were disappointed when we got back to our room that night as we had a message that our jeep excursion had been canceled so we had to decide what else to do. The next morning (our actual 6th anniversary) we got up and headed to the explorations desk and booked a dune buggy trip. We had breakfast and then headed off of the ship into Cozumel and met our tour guides. We spent the day riding around in a dune buggy and we made stops to snorkel and then headed to a beach for relaxation and an authentic Mexican meal.The food was really good and Scott decided that the Mexicans know how to make hot sauce....it even made him cry!! Our tour ended back at the ship and because it was late and we were tired we decided not to head into town and instead picked up our souvenirs at the shops at the pier and then go back aboard to clean up and get ready for dinner. The night was filled with a great dinner, more shows, and a little time in the casino. The next day was a day at sea where we spent the day being "lazy" as we just laid out by the pool, ate lunch, took a nap and just did whatever we wanted with out being on any kind of schedule. Unfortunately the next day was getting off of the ship to head home and again we found that Port Canaveral has an easier process but once we made it though customs (we decided to take all of our baggage off of the ship ourselves) then we got back to the parking deck and started the trip home. We arrived back on Monday about 7:30 pm and both Scott and I decided to take Tuesday off to get unpacked and unwind. We had a great time and it was so wonderful to get away for a few days and we can't wait until the next time!

Scott Got Nailed!!!!

Well Scott got back to trying to finish the handicap ramp at his mom's house yesterday and even got home a little early so he would have a couple of extra hours to get as much of it done as he could but after only about an hour of him starting to work on it again I received a phone call that he had hurt himself. Before he let me know what he did I could tell from the tone of his voice and the fact that I could hear his mom in the background saying just tell her to take you to the emergency room that he had hurt himself pretty good. Once he told me what happened I rushed home to take him to the emergency room. Now what he did will gross many people out as it did me and what he did was he was using an air nailer with 3" nails and he shot himself in the knee!!! All he told me on the phone was he shot himself in the leg but when I got there and saw only about 1" of this 3" nail sticking out of his knee was definitely a sight to see. Mom and I got him to the hospital about 4:15 and after x-rays, shots and putting him on crutches we were out of there by 6:40 which wasn't too bad for the emergency room. The Dr. said after looking at the x-rays and conferring with another Dr. they decided that they would just pull out the nail out and watch to make sure he didn't get an infection but that he felt surgery wasn't necessary since it appeared the nail didn't hit the bone or the joint in the knee. He stressed the importance of making sure he doesn't get an infection and that he has to see an orthopedic specialist Friday morning and to stay off of the leg for a couple of days. I have included a couple of pictures and when I first looked at them they were hard to see. Well if nothing else Scott keeps things interesting!

Nanny

September 23, 1929 - August 13, 2007

On Monday August 13, 2007 our family lost the dearest woman I will ever know. My grandmother “Nanny” was the only grandparent I ever knew and she was so special to everyone that knew her. Nanny made everyone feel as though you were a part of her family and for those of us who were family knew how very lucky we were to have her. I already knew that she kept family pictures, newspaper clippings and many things that were given to her but I had no idea at to the other things that she had and cherished that many people take for granted but Nanny never took anything or anyone for granted. Her faith and love of Jesus, family and friends was so evident in everything that she did. Nanny never met a stranger and she touched so many lives and I am so proud to call her my Nanny. Nanny will always be here with us in everything that we do but rest assured it won’t be the same but I know that one day we will see her again.

Recap of the last couple of weeks.

Well it has been a couple of weeks since the last update and there have been a few things that have happened. Here is a quick recap: Scott's mom is finally out of the hospital after being in the hospital for three weeks and she is on her way to recovering but it will take a while. Scott built a handicap ramp at his parents house over this past weekend and he will work on another one starting next week. We did go to Whitewater for Molly's birthday with her friend Lilly and we all had a great time! I rode things I never thought I would like the Cliffhanger which is a slide that is very high off the ground and goes straight down!!! Molly refused to ride it but Scott, Lilly and I all took our turn and I would do it again. I was also pleasantly surprised that Scott liked going to Whitewater and we will see if he will do it again. We had Molly for the whole next week and she spend the first part of that week cleaning out her room to get ready to paint. Molly and I got started early Saturday morning and had it finished by late Saturday afternoon and the results (as you can see from the pictures below) turned out great. I am very proud of Molly for decorating it the way she did! Molly brought her friend Lilly with her this past weekend and between swimming, touring Auburn and watching movies everyone seemed to have a good time and we hope that Lilly will visit us again.

Happy Birthday Molly!!


Molly's birthday was July 15th and she is now 14 years old!!! We will be taking her and one of her friends to White-Water on Sunday (Scott is really looking forward to that one) and then Molly gets to stay with us all of next week and we plan on painting her room and doing a lot of swimming (hopefully). We can't wait to spend this time with her as we haven't seen her in so long so we have to make up for lost time.

Update on Scott's Mom.

Well we have had a lot going on since the 4th! Scott's mother went to the hospital the day after the 4th for back surgery and we thought she would be home either Friday or Saturday but we were so wrong. During her back surgery the Dr. accidentally tore a hole in her small intestine and we found this out on Saturday morning when she was rushed in for emergency surgery! Once she came out of surgery on Saturday we were told that she was put on a ventilator and couldn't breathe on her own and would be in ICU for they didn't know how long. During the following week the Dr's tried to take her off of the ventilator each day and some days she would breathe for maybe up to 45 min on her own and then there were days she couldn't make it 5 minutes. On the following Saturday they turned the ventilator off and we kept our fingers crossed and this time she didn't have to have it turned back on....yeah!!!!! Monday (7/16) she was able to get out of bed and sit in a chair for almost 3 hours and the Dr's also let her eat some jello which she said was better than a steak!! She is still in ICU as of Tuesday but we are hopeful she will be in another room either late today or early tomorrow. The Dr's have also let us know that she will still be in the hospital for at least another week but we are on our way to her recovering. Scott has been at the hospital each morning around 6:30 and we leave around 9:30 - 10:00 each night so we are both very tired.

Happy 4th of July!

Well we had a fabulous 4th of July! We started the celebrating on Tuesday night with Fireworks at the local high school and we had a picnic while we were there and it was an awesome display. We got home Tuesday night and started our cooking for the 4th and I made my cake (see pic above) and coleslaw. I usually make a flag cake but found a recipe that had a little variation on the arranging of the fruit and it also had a couple different ingredients in it so I decided to try it out and everyone said it turned out great. On Wednesday Scott and I got up early to get the house and the deck ready for everyone. Once everyone started to arrive around 11:00 we put the fish on to fry along with the hushpuppies and french fries. It turned out to be a good crowd as we had Dale, Cathy, Riley, Jim, Liz and their grandson. Jim and Liz also brought their newest additions to the family which are three of the cutest puppies that are chiwawa and poodle mixes. I have included a picture of one of them below where Scott was trying to teach one to swim....lol. Once it got a little later in the day Liz's two kids Derek and Fallon came over and they brought Derek's girlfriend as well. So to wrap everything from the 4th up....we had great friends, good food and a great time socializing, swimming, playing horseshoes and can't wait to do something like this again.

New Layout for Blog!!!!

I have decided to change up our blog so let me know what you think!! When I made the template change it lost a lot of my content so I am trying to recreate it now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Getting ready for the 4th!!

Nothing really new to post from this past week as about the only thing we have done is get the house ready for a 4th of July party we will be having. It looks like we will have about 8-10 people and we will be having a fish-fry complete with hush puppies, coleslaw, french fries, and a couple of desserts. Scott worked hard outside all day Sunday getting the horseshoe pits and the yard cleaned up and I spent my whole day getting the inside of the house ready. Really all of this (other then the horseshoes) needed to be done no matter if we were doing the party or not but knowing that we would have a few people over then that just means we couldn't put it off any longer....lol. Well this week will be kind of weird with both of us off on Wednesday but we do plan on going to a fireworks show on Tuesday night, party on Wednesday and then Scott's Mom is having surgery on Thursday. Scott will also be off on Thursday to be at the hospital for his Mom and I will go there after I get off from work. We thought we would have Molly this past weekend but that didn't happen and then we should be getting her this Friday but she has a trip planned for next week and has to attend a pre trip meeting on Saturday and then leave on Sunday......man it has been forever and we miss her greatly!!! The good news about not getting her for a few weeks is that we will pick her up on the 20th and won't have to take her home until the 29th so we will have her for a whole week!!! Molly's b-day is on the 15th (she will be 14) and she has requested that we go to White Water. I am excited but Scott is a little apprehensive but I know he will have a good time with us. We also plan on painting Molly's room while she is here and I will try to post pics of the room renovation and also of the b-day festivities. Well that is about it and I will post again soon....

Time to catch up.

Well now that things have gotten back to normal a little I will take some time to post on what has been going on. Since we have gotten back from our trip we have been busy unpacking, going through a TON of photos, and getting back to our routines a little. I have been trying to go through all of our pictures and come up with a DVD that isn't too long to sit through....that has not been easy. I added a short slide show on this blog of a few pictures from our trip and I will hopefully have a link to my photo album soon. Friday night Scott took me on a date and we started by going to Logan's for dinner and that was so good and then we went to the movies and saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and absolutely loved it. There have been mixed reviews from some people in our family but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Molly was in Florida all of last week on a vacation with her Mom's family and we picked her up on Saturday so she could have Father's Day with Scott. I took Monday off and spent it with Molly just hanging out watching movies and then we went swimming for a little while and Scott surprised us by getting off at lunch time to spend a little time with us. While we were out by the pool on Monday Scott was playing ball with Chase and with Chase running back and forth across the concrete he has hurt both back paws pretty bad and is limping around right now and we are keeping a close eye on him to make sure it doesn't get worse. He is pretty pitiful right now as he takes turns on which leg he uses to limp and when you take him outside he won't even go off of the back porch without being carried and then when he is inside he just wants to lay around. Well I will keep you posted on Chase and hopefully I can get back into the routine of posting at least once a week.

We just can't stop!!

Well call us crazy but Scott and I have 3 upcoming cruises booked (see new countdowns at the right)!! We have our 6th anniversary cruise this September booked for a while now but we received a deal from Royal Caribbean that we couldn't pass up so we did it again. Last week Scott booked our family vacation for next June and he also surprised me by booking our anniversary trip for next September as well! Next June we will be headed North to Canada (that will be different) and next September it is back to the Bahamas. This September we will be going to Key West, FL and then to Mexico.

Wednesday, June 6, 2007

We are back!!


Well it has almost been a month since my last post but we have had so much going on. This one will be short as I just got back to work today after being gone for over a week on our cruise. I will post again soon to let you guys know exactly what happened on our vacation but for now I will just say it was awesome and above is our welcome aboard photo. More details and photos to come. Well until later.....

The parents came to town.


Mom and Dad arrived Thursday afternoon and went home Monday morning. We had a busy time running around and this is a recap of their time in Alabama. On Thursday we all went out to eat at Niffers and everyone had a hamburger (it was their burger night) and it was very good and we got there just in time as not 10 minutes after we arrived the place was packed!! I took Friday off from work and Mom, Dad, and I spent the day running around trying to find him a AU tag bracket for his truck which we did finally find at Tiger Rags and after lunch we headed home so everyone could relax a little. Saturday started early as Scott and Dad had a tee time in Columbus at a course they hadn't ever played before and they both said it was a hard course but they loved it and would go back. While the guys were playing aroud Mom and I went out and I got Dad's father's day present (I know it is a little early but when you find something you better get it) and then we went to lunch and it was just us girls and had a great time. On Sunday we headed to Columbus to go to Sam's and then we came home and let the dogs run wild in the back yard and they all went swimming!! Well it is now down to two weeks and counting.....

City Fest

Normally this time of the year we head to Columbus for the Riverfest which is a large arts and crafts festival and B-B-Q cook off on the Chattahoochee river and we always thoroughly enjoy it. However, this year the organization that puts the Riverfest together decided not to hold it this year but will resume the festivities next year which was a disappointment to us but it also gave us the opportunity to attend the Auburn City Fest instead.

Molly and I enjoyed all of the dogs we saw as we saw some little bitty ones and one that Molly said you could put a saddle on and ride it. We got there just in time to see the Silver Wings from Ft. Benning jump from an airplane and give a spectacular parachute show.

We then went to see the birds from the Auburn University Raptor center which was also an awesome experience. With all the arts and crafts to look at it was hard to do but we didn't buy anything as we all decided we would rather save our money for fun stuff on the cruise. After the City Fest we went to lunch and got B-B-Q as we thought that would make it a little more like the Riverfest and then we took Scott home as he had to clean out the pool and me and Molly wanted to go shopping!! Molly tried on several things but was unable to find anything she wanted and I bought another dress (yeah Scott already said something) but since my other one really doesn't fit anymore and I got $180 dress for $23 bucks who could blame me...lol. Well Scott and I are disappointed because we won't get Molly for three weeks but the next time we do get her it will be for the Country Fair concert which Scott, Cheryl, and have been before but Molly hasn't so we are all very excited about that and then the next weekend we will leave for our cruise!!! It is getting closer and closer.


Well until next time.....

Things that have been happening.

Nothing really exciting happened this past week as I was sick most of the week. A couple of exciting things happend toward the end of the week and into the weekend. Cheryl came down Friday afternoon and we went and got Molly Friday night and on our way back we stopped for dinner at Moe's and had a great time chatting and catching up on what has been happening. Saturday we all went to Columbus to continue with our cruise shopping and everyone (including Scott) got some new cruise clothes....I can't wait to see Cheryl in her camo pants as Molly and and I are excited about all three of us wearing ours. Sunday was kind of miserable because it had rained alot Saturday night and Sunday was very windy and a lot colder so we just stayed in and watched TV. Cheryl headed home around lunch time only to find out when she got to her car that she had a few inches of water in the front floorboard....Scott had to use the shop vac to dry it out...oh my goodness!!

One very exciting thing happened on Tuesday as Scott booked our anniversary cruise....YEAH!!!! We will be leaving September 6th and come back on the 10th. Our anniversary is on the 8th so we will actually be at sea on our anniversary. We try to do some kind of trip every year for our anniversary and found that after last year and doing a cruise that it really is the best way to go. We will actually be leaving out of Ft. Lauderdale for the first time and will go to Key West and Cozumel. Well that is about so until next time; take care.

Cruise Documents

Our cruise documents arrived yesterday via e-mail....YEAH!!! Now we have our passports, boarding documents & hotel reservations all we need to do is pack and board the ship! We took a test run this past weekend to Atlanta with our new luggage rack and it fully loaded (not to mention about 250 lbs of tile in the back of the car we were taking back) to see what we can expect with our trip to Florida. That was the worst gas mileage that we have ever gotten in our new car......42 mpg!!!! Now most people would say that isn't bad but with our little Prius we usually average 50-51 mpg. Oh well it is still better than taking the van where we might be lucky to get 20 mpg and fill it up 5-6 times at $50 or more and with this we should at the most fill up 4 times at about $25.

Happy Easter!!!!!!!

Friday, April 6, 2007

It's finally over....

I received my new laptop yesterday and HP sent me my replacement RAM today and I have to say I LOVE the new one they sent!! Now I am busy loading everything back on it and hopefully I won't have any problems with this one.

Will it finally be over tomorrow?!?!?

I sent my laptop in for repair a month ago and after going back and forth with HP they decided that they would replace my laptop because they could not get the parts to repair the one I sent in and I got the tracking number yesterday and the new one is scheduled to arrive tomorrow....yeah!!! This one is a little better then the one I had but it is just wonderful that I will finally have a computer back.

Welcome to our blog spot!!

Well since it seems like everyone else is doing it I figured why not us! Maybe by doing this I can let you know what has been happening and post pictures as well. I will have to go ahead and admit that even though I am going to try to update often (maybe once a week) I may get behind but we will just have to hope for the best.
